Changi Airport awards $323m contract for Terminal 1 revamp to Takenaka Corporation

The check-in hall will be overhauled.

Changi Airport Group today revealed that Takenaka Corporation has clinched a $323 million contract for works related to the expansion of Changi Airport’s Terminal 1 (T1), following a competitive tender.

Takenaka Corporation is an established contractor with a strong track record in the development of airports in Japan, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

The company was involved in several of Changi Airport’s development projects, including the ongoing construction of Terminal 4, as well as the previous upgrading of T1 (2012) and Terminal 2 (2006).

The works to be undertaken by Takenaka include the revamp of the T1 Departure Check-in Hall, which involves the replacement of existing check-in counters and the installation of two new check-in rows to increase passenger handling capacity.

A cluster of five retail and dining outlets located at the T1 Departure Hall will discontinue operations in the second quarter of 2015, to allow for the commencement of construction for these check-in rows. Passengers at T1 will continue to be served by other retail and dining outlets at the terminal.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
